{"product_id":"book-ajcx","title":"Waging Heavy Peace","description":"For the first time, legendary singer, songwriter, and guitarist Neil Young offers a kaleidoscopic view of his personal life and musical creativity. He tells of his childhood in Ontario, where his father instilled in him a love for the written word; his first brush with mortality when he contracted polio at the age of five; struggling to pay rent during his early days with the Squires; traveling the Canadian prairies in Mort, his 1948 Buick hearse; performing in a remote town as a polar bear prowled beneath the floorboards; leaving Canada on a whim in 1966 to pursue his musical dreams in the pot-filled boulevards and communal canyons of Los Angeles; the brief but influential life of Buffalo Springfield, which formed almost immediately after his arrival in California. He recounts their rapid rise to fame and ultimate break-up; going solo and overcoming his fear of singing alone; forming Crazy Horse and writing “Cinnamon Girl,” “Cowgirl in the Sand,” and “Down by the River” in one day while sick with the flu; joining Crosby, Stills \u0026amp; Nash, recording the landmark CSNY album, \u003ci\u003eDéjà vu, \u003c\/i\u003eand writing the song, “Ohio;” life at his secluded ranch in the redwoods of Northern California and the pot-filled jam sessions there; falling in love with his wife, Pegi, and the birth of his three children; and finally, finding the contemplative paradise of Hawaii. Astoundingly candid, witty, and as uncompromising and true as his music, \u003ci\u003eWaging Heavy Peace\u003c\/i\u003e is Neil Young’s journey as only he can tell it.","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49337029067056,"sku":"BDajcx","price":22.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD [40]","offer_id":49337029230896,"sku":"40ajcx","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/327130-ajcx-Square.jpg?v=1733962556","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-ajcx","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
